Emma and Adrian

Chapter 1

Emma looked at Adrian who stared at the invisible air in front of him. He finally turned his gaze on Emma and frowned at her.

"What?" He said, not understanding what she just said.

They sat in Emma's room on her red coverlet and talked. This right before they were to leave for Hannah's party. Adrian smelled like the familiar perfume that killed Emma slowly, the smell who made it feel like home. She wanted to be closer to him and feel his breath against her neck. She wanted to do so much with him that she knew he wanted to do equally as much. But they just couldn't, Emma had badgered about it many times before while Adrian had tried time after time to win Emma to him.

Emma sat down, this time closer to him and put her hand on his arm. She bit her lip while she thought about something relevant to say to him next.

"Adrian... you're my half brother..." She said quietly. That should be enough of an explanation.

Adrian stood up from her bed and dragged his hand through his brown hair. He didn't look at her, but she could clearly see the angry crease between his eyebrows and his hand that was tightly in a fist.

She stood up as well and took his hand. Emma tried to calm him down by taking her soft hands into his and gently squeeze them. His gaze avoided hers the best he could. He didn't want to look at her right now because she hurt him with the words that had been spoken by her innocent little mouth.

"Stop it Emma." Adrian snapped and took away his hand from hers. "I love you for fucks sake!"

That's how it was. Criminal Adrian had arrived to Emma's family and he had been aggressive under a long period of time, but Emma had calmed him down. She had made him feel other feelings, feelings he never thought he would get to experience. Especially surprising, was the feelings who led him to fall in love with Emma, the most innocent girl in town who had a heart of gold and who looked like any other girl. That wasn't someone who Adrian thought he would get so sudden feelings for.

He hated her because he loved her.

"I love you too..." She said and looked at him. Emma took his face in her hands lightly and turned it to face her. She tried to get eye contact with Adrian.

His face was now turned straight into hers. It was so rare to hear those words from Emma because she never had the bravery to admit it.

They looked at each other in the silence of seconds before he pressed his lips against hers in a hard but delightful kiss.

She should've pushed him away but she wanted Adrian close to her. He was like a drug to her; something that she couldn't get enough of.

She was addicted to his closeness but it was dangerous. So many fight that she had with him in just a month, that was something you could laugh at. Who would think that Emma, the innocent girl who often sit in the back of the classroom and works hard in class, who is also very innocent among the boys as well. Who would think that she would get into x numbers of fights, criminal love and most of all she had let her parents down in such a short period of time. They were clueless about Emma and Adrians relationship and they always would be. They saw Emma as their innocent daughter and Adrian as their son. That was how it was.

The first seconds they stood there with their lips pressed against one another and all of a sudden Emma was lying down on her bed with Adrian on top of her. His hand placed itself on her left breast and Emma immediately knew what that would lead to. It was in that moment that she also realized how wrong everything had turned out in the last couple of months. This had to end.

She quickly ended the kiss and pushed him away from her as she felt herself panic. Panic in loving Adrian more than she should.

"Really?" Adrian mumbled as he looked at her where he now sat against the wall and just stared at her where she sat at the end of the bed, as far away from him as possible.

"I'm sorry" She said and looked at him, "We can't, we're not allowed to..."
